The Official 2021-22 Season Talk Thread

Lots of firings happening recently.

Guess teams can afford to now vs last year when you were limited mostly on the border restrictions preventing a possible candidate from interviewing/being hired immediately.

I wouldn't celebrate until you know who the replacement is. Vancouver could bring in Chiarelli for all you know.

Looks like Vancouver hired BBQ Bruce to coach. It sounded like Benning wanted to bring in Julien.

Rumor has it Philly is going to bring in Tocchet to replace AV.

Tocchet would be a classic Flyers move. Keeping it in the family like we’ve done for my whole adult life. Tocchet was just inducted in to the Flyers HOF in November.

Just give me a day or two to bask in this long nightmare ending, will you?

I'm sure the next nightmare will begin soon enough.

All I ask from Aquaman is to avoid hiring anybody from the 2011 Bruins or 2010 Blackhawks (this means you, Bergevin). Is that too much ask? Probably.

Canucks in Benning era

2014/15 - 8th (out of 30) in NHL, lost in 1st round
2015/16 - 28th (out of 30) in NHL, missed playoffs
2016/17 - 29th (out of 30) in NHL, missed playoffs
2017/18 - 27th (out of 31) in NHL, missed playoffs
2018/19 - 23rd (out of 31) in NHL, missed playoffs
2019/20 - 20th* (out of 31) in NHL, won 2 playoff series
2020/21 - 24th (out of 31) in NHL, missed playoffs
2021/22 - 28th** (out of 32) in NHL after 25 games

*17th by points percentage

Remember, the Canucks have been a fully capped team this entire time and give away draft picks like candy, including their last two 1st rounders.

Due to Sinclair's ongoing war against streaming, I have caught maybe a period here or there if I'm somewhere that has it on, but the Wild are good? Nice.
